After a very busy day; I have arrived at my new home; for at least, the next few weeks.
Leaving the big smoke slightly earlier than would have been sensible meant enduring some traffic on the North Circ. After a fairly easy drive over to Kidlington Airport, I collected my keys from the accom office.
After unpacking the car and a farewell lunch with my dad; I was on my own.
Upper Heyford; my new home for the next few weeks.
Now, Upper Heyford isn't a bad place; if you like military bases or prisons. Imagine the scene from 'The Great Escape'. Giant steel watchtowers, barbed wire fences and those weird semi circular huts seemingly covered with grass. The only thing missing is Mr McQueen himself.
I did think of taking a pic to help illustrate my environment, but I'm not exactly sure whether I am allowed to take pictures in here; so here is an artistic impression instead from my trusty Moleskine.
It does seem like I am in the middle of nowhere, I can't imagine there is much going on for us kids here in Upper Heyford. With limited things to do so far; I have started reading Crime and Punishment. I also recently set up my pc and internet which has made things more interesting.
Boredom mixed with excitement isn't the best feeling in the world..
A meet and greet with the other cadets in the local pub was a nice end to the evening.
BRING ON TOMORROW..!
